Chapter 39: Significant improvements

"Whyyy?!... haa... aaahhh~... haaaa~..."

When I woke up, I looked around, disoriented, while breathing heavily.

Regulating my breathing helped my brain start processing what was happening. I realized that I had just woken up from a nightmare.

I simply woke up agitated, which is rare since I usually don’t have nightmares, at least not to the point of waking up like this.

Once I had my breathing under control, I began to remember the nightmare, thinking it must have been something that made me wake up that way.

It must have been so clear that I would easily remember it, but... ’Huh? How strange? Why can’t I remember anything?’ I tried to recall the nightmare, but I couldn’t.

I know that usually, a person rarely remembers a dream, but I was sure that I could remember this one due to its intensity or at least some random fragments.

However, for some reason, there was a mental block. It was as frustrating as having something in your hands but not being able to hold onto it.

"Whatever, if I forgot it, it wasn’t important."

But I didn’t think much of it, since in the end it was just a dream, and there was no need to give it much importance.

Maybe I dreamed that Elena or Alicia left me or something like that... right?.

Well, whatever, today was the day my school life began, and I didn’t want something like this to ruin it so early.

So, I rang the bell beside my bed, and immediately, the always serious in her work, Elena, appeared while acting as a normal maid would.

Which, for me, is not very convenient, as last night she was so immersed in pleasure that she bit my ear and actually bit off a piece of it.

But that didn’t stop us, and we kept drowning in pleasure, so that, by the end of the night... the bed had red stains along with the other fluids.

Luckily, I could easily heal it, and I also received an apology from Elena along with a complaint for putting a finger where it didn’t belong.

Now that I think about it, she must have done it on purpose since she realized what she was doing.

I shouldn’t have forgiven her so easily. Well, not that I’m free of guilt for trying to replicate what I did with Alice and expecting the same reaction.

But the important thing is that last night, for the first time, the other function of the skill I was waiting for activated: Dual Synchronization (A), which allows me to synchronize abilities and stats with my sexual partners.

On one hand, stats increase steadily, and the greater the difference between stats, the greater the improvement.

And since Elena specialized in agility, mine has increased a lot, as has Elena’s strength.

The important thing is that this skill has the potential to exchange abilities, which I think is a very overpowered skill.

I looked at my status window to check, along with Elena’s, who was helping me dress:

------------------------------------------

Honestly, even though I initially called it a system, it’s basically just a window; there’s no shop, no missions, or any voice to bully me, insult me, and for her to finally become a conquerable heroine at the end of the story.

That fantasy simply died a long time ago. Besides the installation voice at the beginning, I don’t think I’ll ever hear anything else.

All the basics related to the legacy were engraved in my head three years ago, when I inherited it, so there is no need to have a talking system.

But I still have a small hope that when I gather more legacies, one of them will have the system-chan I’m waiting for.

As for Elena’s and my windows, I could see great improvements since I obtained the legacy’s abilities.

I don’t know if I should be happy or not with Elena’s increased strength since, usually, I’m the one who receives most of the blows when she wields George, which apparently is made especially for me.

Elena, even with all these years, remains a mystery in terms of her thought process.

She acts as the perfect maid, following all protocols and manners, but doesn’t hesitate to hit me and glare at me coldly when necessary.

According to her, it’s for my own good, to correct me and lead me down the right path, even if she has to use force.

On the other hand, as long as the orders are normal, she follows all of them as a maid and trusts me a lot, not to mention she’s affectionate and lets me do many things during our nights together.

But there are limits, like last night, when I put my finger in the wrong hole, and she bit my ear, covering it up as an involuntary reaction.

She’s very passive during sex and basically leaves all the work to me. She usually tries to hold back and not make much noise, but in the end, she ends up screaming loudly and becoming a mess, which only excites me even more.

However, there’s something that has been bothering me for a few days since I had my first session of passion with Alicia, and that is that at the end, Alicia told me she loved me, something I had never heard from Elena.

’But what right do I have to judge her?’ I realized that word carries weight and hasn’t left my lips either.

When asked what love is, I simply don’t know how to respond. I feel it’s something concrete, yet at the same time something philosophical.

When Alicia said it, I felt incredibly good and wanted to return this feeling as well, but the words just didn’t come out when I talked to her the next day.

I realized that it’s a word with weight and not something that should be said lightly. So, I can’t ask or force Elena to tell me she loves me.

I’ll just wait. And on my part, I’ll also try to figure out what it is. In the past few days, I’ve searched, but I can’t find an answer no matter how hard I try.

I even asked Alicia what it was, and with a blushing face, she said it’s just something you feel. It’s like wanting to spend your entire life with that person and things like that, like a pleasant feeling.

She didn’t tell me anything concrete, which I expected. Even in my previous life, when the world was connected, it was still an abstract concept or something described as a combination of hormones in the brain.

In the end, it’s just something that makes you feel good.

I wonder, is what I feel love? I undoubtedly want to spend my life with Alicia and Elena, so is that love? I don’t know; I’ll just figure it out with time.

’Oh, at some point, my thoughts drifted, and I got a bit philosophical.’

I’d better leave those things for later. I turned my thoughts back to the skills and my improvements in recent days since I obtained the legacy, or I would end up in an endless loop of thoughts.

Looking at the improved stats of both Elena and me, what stood out was the speed of acquisition.

The stat improvements were even faster than several months of hard work.

Most of the stats synchronized, and the moment Elena or I have an improvement in those synchronized stats, one night of passion will be enough to catch up with each other, making everything twice as efficient, even if we are synchronized at 100%.

The main stats still need a bit more to sync up and even out.

Also, Elena now has an affinity for lightning and I have an affinity for darkness, which will allow me to cast spells of that element with greater ease, power and mastery.

The affinity abilities were the most common, but also the most powerful and useful, as they cover many fields and functions.

Unfortunately, the Dual Synchro skill is not something I can consciously control, so I can’t choose to prioritize a stat to improve or choose which skills to trade, let alone consciously trade them.

If I could, I would have passed on the light affinity instead of the lightning affinity, since it was higher ranked.

One thing to mention is that when the spear absorbs a skill or when copied by dual sync, the skill drops one rank, which, in my opinion, is fair considering the difficulty of getting skills in this world.

In fact, I had been striving all this time to make us stronger and exchange skills.

’Yes, there was always something more than just pure lust every night with Elena.... It wasn’t for pure lust, but to get better...it wasn’t like I forgot the other function of this ability or something...and substitute had relations for lust...it was all planned...that’s ’ (repeat it until you believe it).

So obviously I invested a lot of time in making us strong...and now I can see the results of my efforts.

This exchange of skills was timely, as Elena could not handle the darkness freely in this specific realm.

The cliché between light and dark existed, and this realm despised and abhorred those who had the blessing of darkness.

As to why a descendant of someone blessed by darkness would be here, of all places?, is a mystery.

"my lady I have already prepared everything, it’s time to go remember to say goodbye to the lady."

Oh, now that everything was ready and Elena had prepared everything as I thought, it was time to go to the academy and with high expectations I left after saying goodbye to my stepmother.

’my time has come’
